Fig. 1 has described uninterrupted power supply device (UPS) 100.In one embodiment, although may be for the power supply of other type in other execution mode, as real-time operation, for subsequent use or two conversion uninterrupted power supply device, uninterrupted power supply device 100 be Line interaction uninterrupted power supply devices.Uninterrupted power supply device 100 comprises such as main line of input 105(), this end is in order to receive the electric power from power supply 110.For example, input line 115 and the neutral line 120 can receive the AC electric power from power supply 110.In one embodiment, input line 115 and the neutral line 120 are main lines of uninterrupted power supply device 100, and it is configured to receive the AC electric power from electrical network.
Uninterrupted power supply device 100 also comprises two relays 125.In one configuration, relay 125 is connected input 105 with output 130.For example, relay 125 can be the switch with Mechanical Contact, in order to input line 115 or the neutral line 120 are coupled with output 130, to provide electric power at output 130 places.
Uninterrupted power supply device 100 also comprises inverter 140.In another kind configuration, relay 125 is coupled inverter 140 and output 130, to provide electric power at output 130 places.Electric power at output 130 places can be provided to load 135.In one embodiment, stand-by power supply 155 can provide non-firm power to inverter 140 via DC bus line 150.
Uninterrupted power supply device 100 also comprises controller 145.In one embodiment, the operation of controller control uninterrupted power supply device 100, comprises the switching of relay 125.For example, controller 145 can switch back and forth by control relay 125 between primary importance and the second place, wherein, in primary importance, relay 125 is by input circuit 105 and output circuit 130 electrical couplings, in the second place, relay 125 is by inverter 140 and output circuit 130 electrical couplings, with operational mode operation for subsequent use.In one embodiment, controller 145 control relays 125 switch simultaneously.Fig. 1 has described relay 125 and in primary importance, input 105 and output 130 has been coupled.Controller 145 can be switched to the second place from this position by relay 125, and it is coupled inverter 140 and output 130.When input AC electric power is while being acceptable (as determined by controller 145), uninterrupted power supply device 100 is turned round by input electric power.Exceed the situation of allowed band when controller 145 detects input electric power, controller 145 control relays 125 are coupled to inverter 140, and uninterrupted power supply device 100 is moved under standby operation mode.The situation that exceeds allowed band at least comprises input electric power loss, input electric power voltage is low and input electric power voltage is high.
In the running of uninterrupted power supply device 100, the voltage swells at input 105 places can be at input 105(for example, input line 115 or the neutral line 120) and inverter 140 between produce electric arc.Electric arc appears at least one relay 125, and produces low impedance path between input line 105 and inverter 140.Although may go up in the position shown in the figure 1 at relay 125, arc discharge (arcing) occurs, when relay 125 is in the time switching from position shown in Fig. 1, arc discharge more easily occurs and causes damage.This may cause that electric current reverse feeding is to inverter 140.For example, the contact of relay 125 can be transported to inverter 140 by electric arc from input line 115 or the neutral line 120 in handoff procedure.Semiconductor or other parts that this can make inverter DC bus line voltage be increased to overload and damage inverter 140.
In one embodiment, relay 125 is single-pole double throw switching relaies, and it is easily often opening arc discharge between the utmost point 127 and the normally closed utmost point 129.For example, relay 125 can be in the first band electric position operation, and it is coupled input 105 and output 130, and relay 125 also can be in uncharged second place operation, and it is coupled inverter 140 and output 130.In addition, two relays 125 can be independent relay, can be also two switching parts of a relay, and it is controlled by controller 145.
In one embodiment, controller 145 detects voltage swells state.For example, controller 145 can comprise processor (for example, microprocessor) and differential amplifier circuit.Input voltage current potential between differential amplifier circuit perception input line 115 and the neutral line 120, and this line voltage distribution is adjusted in proportion and is suitable for the level that processor is measured.Controller 145 compares measured voltage sample and reference voltage.In one embodiment, the nominal input voltage of uninterrupted power supply device 100 is that 120V and reference voltage are 160V, determines that higher than reference voltage voltage swells state exists.Other reference voltage level, as 143V, 155V, 165V or 208V can be used in various execution modes.Reference voltage can be a part for reference voltage curve waveform, and this curve waveform is stored in the memory relevant to controller 145.
In one embodiment, controller 145 carries out repeated sampling to input voltage.For example, controller 145 can be sampled to input voltage for 64 times evenly distributedly with every line voltage cycle, to detect or other any situation that exceeds allowed band, above-mentioned situation causes the switching of relay 125 and uninterrupted power supply device 100 is turned round under standby operation mode.In this example, voltage swells state can start at any one the some place in the on-Line Voltage cycle.For the differential voltage between voltage and reference voltage being adjusted in proportion less (for example, approach zero crossing and the reference voltage of circuit) time prevent during the part in the on-Line Voltage cycle that the less line voltage distribution of perception rises sharply mistakenly, the perception that rises sharply of line voltage distribution in this example is limited in, between the 4th and the 28th sample, being then limited between the 36th and the 60th sample.Controller 145 can be by assessing the voltage swells state during one or more voltage in these sampling times detects any one in these two cycles.
In one embodiment, controller 145 compares with reference to one group of four voltage in voltage and 4 sampling times.This sample group can be the continuous or discontinuous sample of input voltage waveform line voltage cycle.Described controller 145 can be determined and in the time that the multiple line voltage distribution samples in the line voltage distribution sample of this group through surveying exceed reference voltage, has voltage swells state.For example, when any two while exceeding reference voltage in four of this group line voltage distribution samples through measuring, controller 145 can detect voltage swells state.Rise sharply two samples of state of instructed voltage can be continuous but must not be continuous.
In one embodiment, in the time that voltage swells causes exceeding the situation of allowed band, controller 145 will be in the time that input voltage waveform approaches zero crossing the switching of starting relay 125, to reduce the possibility of arc discharge on relay 125.Can occur twice owing to spending zero passage in line voltage cycle at input voltage 360, only at zero passage place or approach the control that zero passage place control relay 125 and inverter 140 couplings can be slowed down to inverter 140.This may not be suitable for some application that needs quick control inverter 140, such as voltage dip, under-voltage or power breakdown.Therefore, in one embodiment, controller 145 can detect voltage swells state, and in response to voltage swells state being detected, controller 145 control relays 125 postpone to switch, until input voltage approaches zero crossing.In the situation that not there is not voltage swells state, controller 145 can move relay 125 and not carry out this delay.In one embodiment, in response to the delay of detected voltage swells state close to the half period of input voltage or still less.Controller 145 can determine that voltage swells state finishes also again control relay 125 and not free the delay.
Voltage swell can be caused by many reasons, comprises due to another the phase place earth fault going up mutually at input voltage.For example, in the time that uninterrupted power supply device 100 moves in the three-phase system of Δ ground connection, phase place earth fault may cause being approximately higher than greatly the voltage swells of nominal 73%.In Y type grounding system, fault can cause input voltage to be approximately higher than greatly nominal 35%.At least in some embodiments, controller 145 will detect each in these situations and is designated voltage swells.
In response to detected voltage swells state, controller 145 can be identified the phase angle of input voltage or the time corresponding with the zero crossing of input voltage, thereby provides conversion command with transfer relay 125.For example, corresponding to the voltage swells state detecting, controller 145 can postpone conversion command, until more approach the degree of 79 in input voltage waveform point or 259 degree points.In this embodiment, when input voltage approaches zero crossing, and after approximately 3 milliseconds of conversion commands, relay 125 starts to open.In this example, after application conversion command general 4.5 milliseconds, relay 125 and inverter 140 be coupled (for example, closure).
In one embodiment, controller 145 can provide conversion command with transfer relay 125 in the arbitrfary point within the time period of measuring with respect to input voltage zero crossing.The delay moving in response to the relay 125 of the order for switching is considered, to determine the timing boundary of this time period.For example, controller 145 can provide conversion command in 0.76 millisecond that detects after voltage swells.Relay 125 is providing after conversion command 3.1 milliseconds to start to open, or is detecting that after voltage swells state, 3.86 milliseconds start to open.(3.1+.76=3.86 millisecond.) relay can carry out switching position with 1.36 milliseconds.In this example, relay 125 after controller 145 detects voltage swells 5.22 milliseconds complete handover operation.(0.76+3.1+1.36=5.22 millisecond).This equals controller 145 provides after conversion command 4.46 milliseconds.(3.1+1.36=4.46 millisecond).
In an execution mode with above-mentioned delay, controller 145 stops in before input voltage zero crossing 3.1 milliseconds of relay 125 (for example, the time of delay of relay 125) to start to switch.This is with respect to the first border of the time period of zero crossing or the example of inner boundary.Consider the time of delay of relay 125, this border has been guaranteed relay 125 at zero crossing place or has been started to switch early than zero crossing place, to avoid exceeding at inverter 140 places the situation of allowed band.For example, uninterrupted power supply device 100 can be worked under the nominal input voltage of 120V, and controller 145 can detect 208V voltage swells at 290 degree phase angle places.In this example, controller 145 was no more than 3.1 milliseconds conversion command is provided before input voltage zero crossing.
In one embodiment, controller 145 prevents that relay 125 from starting and switching more than 6.3 milliseconds before input voltage zero crossing.This is with respect to the second boundary of the time period of zero crossing or the example of external boundary.For example, uninterrupted power supply device 100 can be worked under the nominal input voltage of 120V, and controller can detect 220V voltage swells at 220 degree phase angle places.In this example, controller 145 before input voltage zero crossing no more than 6.3 milliseconds conversion command is provided.Control relay 125 changes in external boundary inscribe the interior situation that occurs exceeding allowed band of inverter 140 of having avoided, because, for example, relay 125 has completed their handover operation, thereby and input voltage causes arc discharge on relay 125 close to zero crossing very much.
Therefore, in one embodiment, with respect to the time period of the input voltage zero crossing that may switch be between 6.3 milliseconds and 3.1 milliseconds before zero crossing.This timing window is applicable to any one half period of input voltage.These numerical value and scope be sample and be approximation, and the parts of (for example, +/-10%) and uninterrupted power supply device 100 can have other delay, switching and total Latency response time, and these numerical value can be higher than also can be lower than these samples.For example, under different operation conditionss, controller 145 can be before zero crossing more than 6.3 milliseconds or can be less than 3.1 milliseconds before zero crossing conversion command is provided, for example use higher or lower than 1000W linearity or nonlinear resistance load, or line frequency is 50Hz or 60Hz.
Fig. 2 is the figure that has described the element waveform of uninterrupted power supply device 100 in running.According to Fig. 2, uninterrupted power supply device 100 moves in the situation that nominal input voltage is 120V, and 200V voltage swells state occurs in 220 degree places in input voltage waveform.In this example, the operating frequency of uninterrupted power supply device 100 is 50Hz, and uninterrupted power supply device 100 moves the in the situation that of 1000W resistive load.
In the example of Fig. 2, controller 145 is spent phase angle place at approximately 238 of input voltage waveform 210 provides conversion command 205.From sending the delay of about 3 milliseconds of conversion command 205, their conversion is opened and started to relay 125, representing as switch opens axis 215.Although (Fig. 2 does not directly describe, when in this example, above-mentioned situation occurs in 3.64 milliseconds before zero crossing.) relay 125 while opening electric arc occur, represented as being reduced by voltage in 220 sections of UPS output voltage waveforms 225.Relay 125 completes axle place in switching and completes conversion 230.Although (Fig. 2 does not directly describe, when in this example, above-mentioned situation occurs in early than 2.3 milliseconds of zero crossings.) now, relay 125 cuts out at its second place place, and electric arc disappears at axle 235 places.
At the time instant corresponding to axle 235, weaken and stablized by the input current shown in input current waveform 240 by the voltage dip shown in section 220.In the time that input voltage waveform 210 approaches zero crossing, electric arc disappears, and it is represented by voltage zero-cross axis 250.In this example, by arc transfer to the energy of inverter 140 tolerance level lower than inverter 140, and do not hinder the operation of uninterrupted power supply device 100.This is to represent by the inverter DC bus voltage 245 of substantial constant, and described inverter DC bus voltage 245 is held constant at 178V in this example.
See figures.1.and.2, complete after its switching at axle 230 places at relay 125, electric arc is still on relay 125.In other embodiments, controller 145 provide that the time point of conversion command describes with Fig. 2 compared with more approach the zero crossing on axle 250.For example, in the time that controller 145 provides conversion command at the 259 degree phase angles (or 79 degree phase angles) of input voltage waveform 210, just there will be above-mentioned situation, this situation is spent phase angles antithesis with 238 of generation result depicted in figure 2.It is more approaching or exceed the electric arc end point on axis 235 that this makes to have switched axis 230.Therefore, electric arc can disappear before or after handover operation completes.
Fig. 3 has described a kind of method 300 that uninterrupted electric power is provided.The method 300 is used uninterrupted power supply device that uninterrupted electric power is provided, and this uninterrupted power supply device comprises input, output, inverter and two relays.Relay can be optionally by input or inverter and output coupling.The method 300 comprises the behavior (behavior 305) that receives input voltage.In one embodiment, receive input voltage (behavior 305) and comprise the main line input voltage that receives uninterrupted power supply device input end.Power supply can provide input voltage through electrical network.In one embodiment, the input voltage receiving has the nominal value of 120V.
The method 300 comprises the behavior (behavior 310) that detects voltage swells in input voltage.In one embodiment, detecting voltage swells (behavior 310) comprises at least one input voltage sample and reference voltage comparison.For example, when at least one input voltage value that measured or that sampled is during higher than reference voltage, voltage swells just can be detected.In one embodiment, detecting voltage swells (behavior 310) comprises input voltage is sampled, to determine the input voltage of multiple samplings, voltage swells state wherein in the time having two in the input voltage of multiple samplings at least higher than reference voltage or exceed allowed band, detected.
Method 300 also comprises following behavior: the phase angle of identification input voltage, starts handover operation (behavior 315) at this phase angle place.The phase angle of identifying is to provide the phase angle of conversion command with the input voltage of unlatching handover operation at Qi Chu.In response to the detection of voltage swells state, can identify this phase angle.In one embodiment, the phase angle of identifying is determined in advance and is programmed in the firmware of operation uninterrupted power supply device.The phase angle (behavior 315) of identification input voltage can be based on the corresponding time, until input voltage reaches zero crossing.For example, identification phase angle (behavior 315) can comprise the phase angle of identifying input voltage, and it occurred in the time period between 6.3 milliseconds to 3.1 milliseconds before input voltage zero crossing.The behavior of conversion command (behavior 320) that provides also can be provided method 300.For example, controller can provide conversion command to one or more relays, to open handover operation within the time period prior to input voltage zero crossing.
